2.4 i-VTEC 16V (190 Hp) Automatic Verdict:
Performance Verdict
While retaining the smooth power delivery of the 2.4L i-VTEC, the automatic transmission noticeably dulls acceleration compared to the manual, making it less sporty but more relaxed for daily commuting.
Fuel Economy
Fuel economy is slightly worse than the manual version due to the automatic transmission's characteristics, particularly in stop-and-go traffic. Still reasonable for a powerful petrol automatic.
Pros and Cons:
Pros:
- • Exceptional Honda reliability and build quality
- • Spacious and practical wagon body style with large boot
- • Refined ride quality and comfortable interior
- • Engaging handling for a family estate
- • Efficient diesel engine option (2.2 i-CTDi)
Cons:
- • Petrol engines can be thirsty, especially the 2.4L
- • Automatic transmission can feel a bit sluggish
- • Interior design, while functional, is somewhat conservative
- • Some road noise at higher speeds
- • Rear visibility can be limited due to wagon design
